macOS Sierra beta was announced during WWDC 2016, available for developers to play with ahead of the public beta testing. macOS is the rebranded OS X that runs on MacBook, Mac and the iMac lineup of devices for the company.
It was rumoured right before WWDC that Apple was working on the latest MacBook Pro that included an OLED touch bar along with USB 3.1 Type-C and the latest sixth generation Skylake processors. With the latest beta, a Twitter user has spotted references to OLED touch bar and Touch ID for MacBook Pro and in addition to Touch ID the user also spotted references to USB 3.1.

This coupled with rumors and renders looks really brilliant and an essential tool that can be leveraged for quick tasks and more contextual information without using the main screen. Regardless the hints, we neither pinpoint what exactly is going to be added when the new updated MacBook Pro line is going to be announced nor confirm any dates of launch.
